This release presents two complete original albums by Benny Golson: "Benny Golson and the Philadelphians" is a splendid quintet date featuring the great Lee Morgan. While "Take a Number From 1 to 10" was a kind of experiment, that begins with Golson playing alone on the first track, and adding a musician to each successive track.

Stars like Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Fuller, Art Farmer and Cedar Walton are all heard on this album. (freshsoundrecords. com)
